Bush saying 'au revoir' in Paris
Was he ever gaffe prone!!! Bon chance!
George W Bush is not popular with the French people
US President George W Bush and France's Nicolas Sarkozy have emphasised the strength of relations between the two countries after talks in Paris.
The pair discussed a range of issues including Iran's nuclear ambitions and co-operation over Afghanistan.
But correspondents say the mood of the meeting was dominated by the extent to which France and the US see eye-to-eye.
Mr Bush is in Paris on the latest leg of his European tour, expected to be his last before leaving office.
The visit is seen as a sign of further reconciliation between the US and France, after tensions over Iraq.
On Friday, Mr Bush spoke with affection of the deep historic link between France and the US.
On Sunday morning he will travel on to the UK, where he is expected to meet Queen Elizabeth II and hold talks with Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
Not popular with French
Since taking office a year ago, Mr Sarkozy has made great efforts to build relations with Washington, which went into deep-freeze under his predecessor Jacques Chirac.
